6 Hour Trip –Wreck/Reef/Offshore AM on April 23, 2025
Booking was super easy. They responded super fast and answered all my questions. This was a first time for me and my friends we just wanted to have fun was the goal. Shawn and Devin were amazing and made sure we got some great fish. We will 100% be booking again and letting our friends know about them. We were able to catch so many fish that I was amazed the coolest was the barracuda and Cobra Jack. I want to thank them both for the great experience.

Mr. Fireman’s Charter is one of the better charter fishing trips I’ve been on, and I’ve been on many! They had us on fish within a few minutes of our line hitting the water! Landed Red Snapper, Barracuda, Vermillion Snapper, Pompano, and several other smaller species of fish. Looking forward to our next trip with Mr. Fireman’s!

Weather forced a change from planned “inshore” trip to “back water”. Capt made the right call - charter and crew safety first - and we still caught fish!!
